Pixar Animators Do Comics in Image’s "Afterworks 2"

A press release from Image Comics is touting Afterworks 2, an original anthology of comics from several employees at Pixar Animation Studios, with topics that range from retellings of classic myths to fact-based accounts of the assault on Fallujah. Some of the creators involved include Scott Morse (Noble Boy, Soulwind), Bill Presing (Rex Steele: Nazi Smasher), Brian Larsen (Samurai Jack), Derek Thompson (Star Wars: Episode III), Peter Sohn (The Incredibles), and Mark Andrews (Tales of Colossus, One Man Band). Andrews has posted preview images for his contribution to the anthology on his weblog.

The 200-page anthology will be on sale in July with a cover price of $24.99, and will be available for pre-order in May. Image will also be releasing Afterworks 1, a reprint of an earlier black-and-white anthology by many of the same creators, in June. The reprint is now available for pre-order for $17.99.
